Lake Jocassee Waterfalls 12 10/13/2014 — Devil’s Fork State Park, Salem, South Carolina
There is more that I do not want to do these days,
than that I want to do.
I am content with being still and quiet,
and looking out the window,
or reading/writing.

The grand adventures of concerts and
live sporting events
will have to entice someone else.
I'll be in the kitching inventing
enticing recipes,
like crustless apple pie and ice cream,
which morphs into crustless cherry pie and ice cream,
if you're in the mood,
or crustless peach pie and ice cream.

And then there is sweet potato casserole
with pineapple and cranberries.

Kitchen adventures are among my favorites.
Though, I still think there is more I won't miss
than that I will miss.
Not that I will be in a state to miss anything,
or even be glad that I got to experience
everything I have experienced.
So I make the most of experiencing all that I am fond of
while I can.

I call it making the most of my time.
And I recommend it highly.

I'm retired, and still finding my way--but now, I don't have to pretend that I know what I'm doing. I retired after 40.5 years as a minister in the Presbyterian Church USA, serving churches in Louisiana, Mississippi and North Carolina. I graduated from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, in Austin, Texas, and Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. My wife, Judy, and I have three daughters, five granddaughters, one great granddaughter, and a great grandson on the way, within about ten minutes from where we live--and are enjoying our retirement as much as we have ever enjoyed anything.
